I'm sorry, I missunderstood you. Your saying that the mbox client, for lack of a better term, creates the From line in the mbox format from the envelope, and that it isn't strictly a header?
I think your right about that. I seem to remember reading that.
That is a problem though. I can spoof any From: header with mutt in a second and so can any spammer. How the heck can you protect the mailing list?
